About

C'est le meilleur poulet frit que j'ai goûté à Montréal, & si c'était juste de ça, je donnerais déjà cinq étoiles. MAIS, en plus de la nourriture, les employés sont super. Ma femme avait une mauvaise journée, & les deux personnes à la caisse ont été tellement gentilles qu'elles l'ont presque fait pleurer.

Chaudement recommandé.

Probably the best restaurant in the city. Everything in the menu is absolutely delicious, the fried chicken melts, the sauces are to die for & the fries are out of this world. The staff is super kind & the atmosphere is clean & happy! I recommend dining in because the food tastes incredible fresh :)

We order the half & half chicken, & they are willing to customize our order. The signature fried chicken is really delicious! Their snowy onion chicken is one of the best fried chicken we had. Highly recommend!
